3-2 DFB-Pokal win over Bayern Munich and feels
the way they fought back after going 2-1 down at
the Allianz Arena was "madness".
Dortmund went 1-0 up via Marco Reus, but Javi
Martinez and Mats Hummels then struck to hand
Bayern the lead at half-time on Wednesday.
The Bavarians had a number of chances to put the
match to bed, but poor finishing kept Dortmund's
chances alive and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and
Ousmane Dembele eventually fired them to the
final.
"We came back and turned things around in
Munich, that is just madness," Tuchel told
reporters.
"We completely lost our footing after the first 20
minutes. We lost too many duels.
"We then had enormous luck after the break when
[Sven] Bender prevented [Arjen] Robben from
scoring Bayern's third. We would have lost the
game had that gone in. We then scored two great
goals and held on.
"We had the little bit of luck that's necessary when
you come here. You could even say a lot of luck,
but you need it here. This win is huge for the
team's confidence and development."
Dembele led Dortmund the way with an assist and
a goal and the Frenchman feels Wednesday's
game was arguably the biggest moment of his
career.
"I am very happy to have reached the final in
Berlin," Dembele said.
"Bayern have a great team, so you need a bit of
luck to beat them.
"This is the biggest moment of my career so far. I
will not forget that assist and goal lightly."
